Appetite For Selection 143 - Charles Webster

Look at you, look at me
Alone and adrift on the Suprema Sea
Cockles and muscles and blood enemies
Isn’t it shitty to think so

Shelf life is limited at this Late Stage
At the Tail end of the vice and device age

Is it a race when one of the runners is hogtied?
Is it a war when one side is small and one plus sized?

That man made a monument all to himself
A tradesman who handed out scraps of his wealth
He took out insurance on people he stole
No matter if half of them choke in the hold.

Shelf life is limited to those of age
Soylent Green for a living wage

Chicken Supreme overcooked in a pot that’s so Fragile
When he writes words every one looks so fearful and facile

That man made an arsehole out of himself
And broadcast his lack of good mental health
Making things worse with the public purse
America grates putting white lives First

Shelf life is spirited away from The Hague
Guessing the name of the latest Plague

Is it a race when one of the runners is shoeless?
It’s not a mystery just because you’re fucking clueless

If there’s a future you’ve planned,by all means whip out the Blueprints

Look at me, Look at you
Wondering why we all drink so,
Skimming the cream from American dreams
it isn’t pretty to think so.

Appetite For Selection 200 - Charles Webster

Written by Dan and Richard

Driven by fear
I can’t start the carpenter 
Under the hood, looking peachy 

Given to tears 
I demand a thermometer 
Give up the goods on the beaches

Listening ears 
There’s corn on the monitor 
It’s better than bad, it’s depleting 

Missiles or spears 
A mixture of metaphors 
Don’t turn your back whilst retreating 

And it’s four, five, six of the best 
A trick or a test 
Before I got dressed 

The Semaphore towers 
Saints preserve us 
The specific theatre is making me nervous 

And it’s eight, nine, ten of the worst,
A kindlier curse
And I’m fit to burst 

Keen as mustard 
The butter wouldn’t melt 
A spade and a shove, four score leeches 

The earth’s crust would 
Shape the sand it’s dealt 
A blade and a dove, and a teachest


Its Peaches Underneath

Hate is like a typhoon / Typhoon / Is all a typhoon wants to be / Hate is like a typhoon / Inside of me


Inspired by 'Blue Eye Samurai'

Hate is Like a Typhoon

Lyrics; 
Well it's a deep dark night
Even the moon is out of sight
Not far in the distance rides the train

And I haven't slept a wink
Cause all I do is think
Of all the things you said to me that float inside my brain

I listen to the rhythm
Of the wheels upon the rails
I know my world will never be the same

It's a deep dark night
But I can see the light
As the bridges from my past are put upon the flame

And as the train leaves for tomorrow I say goodbye to yesterday
Leave it at the station watch it fade away

I'd spiraled down and lost control
I'm climbing out of this old hole
Steel wheels and new shoes for my feet of clay

Just the thought of losing you
Would turn my turning world so blue
And it turned me inside out to let you go

But the train is moving on
And with me will soon be gone
From the only world I knew and thought I'd ever know

And as the train leaves for tomorrow  goodbye to yesterday
Leave it at the station watch it fade away

I'd spiraled down and lost control
I'm climbing out of this old hole
Steel wheels and new shoes for my feet of clay

This train leaves for tomorrow goodbye to yesterday
Leave it at the station watch it fade away

I'd spiraled down and lost control
I'm climbing out of this old hole
Steel wheels and new shoes for my feet of
clay





Steel Wheels and New Shoes

A psychy ballad.  I am not sure its finished yet.
